Virtual reality is one of those polarizing concepts that people tend to either love or totally hate. The problem with it right now is that the devices used for VR are generally bulky or straight up ugly. Figment, on the other hand, has added a twist to the VR scene by combining sleek design and functionality. Their newest installment takes the traditional design of an iPhone case to incorporate a mini VR system that activates with a flick of the wrist. The device comes in two color options of black or white and at the moment it is only available for Apple iPhone products, but an Android version being available to the public is a strong possibility. The first shipments are expected to take place in Spring 2016. You can pre-order the system now for approximately $50 USD, but its retail price will be selling for $80 USD.
